The message reads, in part:
“The history of your renowned Experimental Design Bureau is inextricably linked to the heroic history of Russian aviation and to the names of talented scientists, designers, specialists, and courageous test pilots. Largely due to their selfless and creative labour, unique ideas and developments, our country confidently holds leading positions in the production of combat aircraft.
I am pleased to note that these strong, time-hardened traditions are being worthily continued by the current staff of the enterprise. Based on bold scientific solutions and cutting-edge technologies, the company creates and upgrades the most advanced and competitive models of aircraft and aviation systems. Today, many MiGs are successfully fulfilling important tasks during the special military operation and defending our Fatherland.”
